Foam Control Systems for Non-Structured Liquid Detergents
Self-dispersing, anhydrous WACKER SILFOAM® antifoam dispersions added to non-structured liquid detergents in a dosage of 0.2 % to 2 % ensure efficient, foam-controlled washing.
Foam Control Systems for Gel Detergents
For optimum foam control in the case of gel products, high-viscosity gels from the SILFOAM® antifoam range yield the best results. These products are also ideal filling aids, enabling containers to be filled properly and at high speed without foam. SILFOAM® is a silicone antifoam emulsion series specially designed for low-viscosity gel detergents. We can supply all our foam control systems fully tested for compliance with your specific needs.
Foam Control Systems in Liquid Detergents and Fabric Conditioners
Whether fabric softener or detergent for general use or delicate fabrics, SILFOAM® provides effective foam control in liquid detergents and conditioning products. This is where product compatibility is crucial. The antifoam must disperse in liquid detergents without being deposited on the fabric. Moreover, it must stay dispersed. It must also deliver what it promises and not suffer any loss of efficacy in normal storage during its useful life. Silicone antifoams also make effective processing aids for liquid-detergent and fabric-softener filling.
Filling Aids
In the case of liquid detergents and fabric softeners, foaming interferes with container-filling operations and leads to substantial additional costs. Financial savings can be made by using SILFOAM® antifoam emulsions as deaeration aids.
